HFF, Woodland Walk

28 Sep 2016 77 102 1096
Among the heathy hills and ragged woods The roaring Foyers pours his mossy floods; Till full he dashes on the rocky mounds, Where, through a shapeless breach, his stream resounds, As high in air the bursting torrents flow, As deep-recoiling surges foam below, Prone down the rock the whitening sheet descends, And viewless Echo's ear, astonish'd rends. Dim seen, through rising mists and ceaseless showers, The hoary cavern, wide-surrounding, lowers. Still, through the gap the struggling river toils, And still, below, the horrid cauldron boils. Robert Burns Added to Sight and Sound with the link 'Autumn' by Andrea Begley www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B-TyyxuHRQ
